Educating the Next Generation of Cyclists 

The Cycling School of Active Citizenship, a project initiated by the Wrocław Cycling Initiative, seeks to improve cycling education across Poland. With the goal of reforming cycling training and enhancing safety, the project targets young cyclists, aiming to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed for safe cycling in urban environments. Through a nationwide approach, the initiative is creating a more sustainable and cyclist-friendly future. 

Key activities for a safer cycling culture
The Cycling School of Active Citizenship activities include developing educational resources like the “Safe Cyclists in the City” package for students and teachers, conducting regional seminars on cycling safety, and running a public awareness campaign involving schools, parents, and local authorities. The project also aims to build a network of qualified cycling educators across Poland and reform the national cycling card to improve cycling education effectiveness. 

The impact and road ahead
Although still in progress (January 2021 – October 2022), the Cycling School of Active Citizenship has already launched the Bicycle School website, offering an interactive platform with quizzes, games, and educational resources.
